Clearly you’ve never had a novelty pen with a comically small biro inner due to limited space.

The fun thing with Musk is it’s now impossible to determine whether he’s lying, doing something stupid, or simply inaccurately reporting something someone who actually knows what they’re talking about told him.

This isn’t how you handle automated processes scraping you, you handle that by restricting things that human beings can’t do. Preventing literally every user from seeing a reasonable amount of content is just cutting off your nose to spite your face. And it’s an ad-supported service. If nobody’s able to view content, they’re also not viewing ads.

With this move, he has truly achieved fractal wrongness.

Just the Grand Prix (it’s not called the feature race). The Sprint Grid is decided tomorrow in the “Shootout”

I don’t think Sainz is doing poorly or anything, but he’s hardly setting the world on fire either. I’m not sure the leverage is particularly in his favour here, Ferrari have Leclerc already and there’s several drivers of at least the same or similar calibre to Sainz who they could look at as alternatives. So I’m not sure the threat really works. Not saying they’d definitely be looking elsewhere off their own back, just that if that’s his attitude they have no reason not to and they’d find other ways to go. Why rock the boat?

I think at this point the most likely scenario in this regard is that if Daniel seems up to what they’re looking for pace-wise in the tests he’s doing, they’ll look to slot him into Alpha Tauri next year with a view to having him firmly on deck if they wind up needing to make a change with Perez. Checo has definitely been underwhelming this year, but I think it’s only if he’s still underperforming next year that he faces the prospect of anything drastic. And on a similar line, De Vries seems like he’ll probably see out this year, but if things don’t improve for him then he’s who I’d expect to be moved aside for 2024 should they want to give Daniel a race seat.

I checked out the F123 Game Trial on EA Play, seems like they really improved the handling this time - cars are a lot less nervous than last year so when traction breaks you have much more opportunity to correct the slide and keep going rather than being spat out into a wall or something. And on the other end, a lot less unaccountable turn in understeer. I also got PS2 Emulation working on my phone so I’m playing some Gran Turismo 3 & 4. I had been playing 7, but while the driving is pretty good…The Campaign structure and the AI leave a lot to be desired. So I figured I’d replay some classics while I wait for Forza Motorsport this October.

Honestly he should count himself lucky he got away with only one such penalty. I suspect he won’t though, he tends to be quite stubborn about insisting he’s not at fault even when he blatantly is.

I have been using Mammoth, since it was in TestFlight, but weirdly I feel like following the official release it has gotten progressively more buggy and unstable so I’ve been resorting to the Mastodon App more and more lately. But I can’t find a way to post GIFs in that, so I’m currently sort of jumping around between Mastodon’s App, Mammoth and Metatext for posting GIFs.

The lettering doesn’t scale very well. I assume it worked better for Mastodon World being “MW.” With this being “LW” the same stylisation looks fairly awkward, especially when scaled down.

It is, but when it get gets scaled down the negative space between the L and the W becomes harder to discern and is eventually all but lost. In the small version that appears most frequently, the gap is basically nonexistent.
